Pavement
This vehicle is designed for off-road use only.
Avoid paved surfaces. Turn gradually and go
slowly if you must drive on pavement.
Water
If you must cross shallow, slow-moving water
up to the depth of the vehicle’s floorboard,
choose your path carefully to avoid sharp
drop-offs, large rocks, or slippery surfaces
that could cause the vehicle to overturn. Nev-
er operate through water deeper than 37 cm
(15 in) or fast-flowing water. Choose a path
where both your entrance into and exit point
from the water is a gradual incline. Determine
the water depth and currents before crossing.
Operating this vehicle through deep or fast-
flowing water can lead to loss of control or
overturn. To reduce your risk of drowning or
other injuries, use care when crossing
through water.Wet brakes may have reduced effectiveness.
After leaving the water, test your brakes. If
necessary, apply the brakes several times to
let friction dry out the linings.
NOTICEECB02170After driving your vehicle in water, be sure
to drain the trapped water by removing the
check hoses at the bottom of the air filter
case and air duct and the V-belt case drain
plug. Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it
has been operated in salt water or muddy
conditions. Loose terrain/slippery terrain
When driving on slippery terrain, including
wet, muddy, or icy conditions, as well as
loose gravel, be aware that you could begin
skidding or sliding. To avoid loss of control,
slow down and put the vehicle in four-wheel
drive before driving on a slippery surface and
plan your path to avoid making abrupt ma-
neuvers.

Installation1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gas-
ket and its mating surface, and then wipe
off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
2. Install the spark plug and tighten it to the specified torque. If a torque wrench is not
available when you are installing the
spark plug, a good estimate of the cor-
rect torque is one-quarter to one-half turn
past finger tight. Have the spark plug
tightened to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
EBU33580Cleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be cleaned every
20–40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubri-
cated more often if the vehicle is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time air filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the air filter case for obstructions.
Check the air filter element rubber joint to the
throttle body and manifold fittings for an air-
tight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid
the possibility of unfiltered air entering the en-
gine.NOTICEECB02270Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. Doing so would allow
unfiltered air to enter, causing rapid en-
gine wear and possible engine damage.
Additionally, the fuel injection system
would be affected, resulting in poor engine
performance and possible overheating.
Spark plug gap: 0.8–0.9 mm (0.031–0.035 in)
Tightening torque: Spark plug:11 N·m (1.1 kgf·m, 8.0 lb·ft)

4. While pushing the projections on the airfilter frame inward, remove the air filter el-
ement holder.
5. Remove the sponge material from the air filter frame. 6. Wash the sponge material gently but
thoroughly in parts cleaning solvent.
WARNING! Using gasoline or other
flammable solvents to clean the air fil-
ter element can cause a fire or explo-
sion, which could lead to serious
injury.

the sponge material when squeezing
it.

rinse thoroughly with plain warm water.
9. Squeeze excess water out of the sponge
material. NOTICE: Do not twist the
sponge material when squeezing it.

10. Allow the sponge material to dry thor- oughly. Inspect the sponge material and
replace it if damaged. 11. Thoroughly apply Yamaha foam air filter
oil or other quality liquid foam air filter oil
(not spray type) to the sponge material.
The sponge material should be wet but
not dripping.
12. Pull the sponge material over its frame.
13. Install the air filter element holder.
14. Install the air filter element.
15. Fit the holders on the air filter case cover onto the projections on the air filter case,
and then install the air filter case cover by

16. Install the storage compartment asshown.EBU33672Cleaning the air filter case/air duct
check hoseThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air
filter case and at the bottom of the air duct.
The check hoses can be accessed under the
vehicle. If dust or water collects in a check
hose, empty the hose and clean the air filter
element and air filter case.
EBU33691V-belt case drain plugThe V-belt case drain plug is located behind
the left panel. (See page 8-11 for left panel re-
moval and installation procedures.)
After operating in water deep enough to allow
water to enter the V-belt case, remove the
drain plug to drain any water from the case.
If water drains from the V-belt case after re-
moving the drai n plug, have a Yamaha dealer
inspect the vehicle, as the water may affect
other engine parts.1. Air duct check hose
